Palate: Quite briny here again with a nice thick mouthfeel. Salted oak with prominent barley touched with a bit of cardamom.

Finish: Mostly dry oak with heavy salt notes lingering.

Rating: 85/100 – Missing some complexity for me and a bit too heavy on the brine notes all around.

Value for the money: These are retailing for around $170 or so, and I’d pass at that price. Springbank can historically be fairly overpriced, but sometimes they can be worth it – not the case here for me.
